Bout of Books: Progress Update #4

The Bout of Books
read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender
and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that
begins 12:01am Monday, August 19th and runs through Sunday, August 25th
in whatever time zone you are in. Each day there are challenges for
those who signed up by Tuesday and we are called on to do an
update.
Here's my progress update for Thursday, August 22:

You can copy and paste this list into your entry, then replace each item with your book title and author:

A. Place name or type (from a book title) can be a proper name or noun like Italy or mountains: 84 Charing Cross Road {London} from the book 84, Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff (read earlier this year)

B. Fave Villain (from a book - list title/series): Professor Moriarty from Sherlock Holmes stories
C. Adjective (from a book title) (hot, cold, dark, etc.): Careless from The Case of the Careless Kitten by Erle Stanley Gardner (read last month)
D. Number (from a book title): Twenty from Twenty First Century Blues by Richard Cecil (read last month)
E. Noun (from a book title): Circus from The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern (read earlier this year)
F. Fave Hero/Heroine you wouldn't mind spending a LOT of time with (from a book - list title/series): Lord Peter Wimsey (from the detective series written by Dorothy L Sayers)
G. Dessert (from a book title): Plum Pudding from Plum Pudding Murderby Joanna Fluke (read last year)

My Mad Lib:

Help! I'm being held captive at84 Charing Cross Road {London} by Professor Moriarty!
It is very Careless here!
He is demanding TwentyCircuses to set me free!
I have just discovered that Lord Peter Wimsey was captured too!
On second thought, please send Plum Pudding, and don't worry if you don't hear from us for awhile!
